A Popular Account of Dr. Livingstone’s Expedition to the Zambesi and Its Tributaries

CHAPTER VI
17/46

The name of this tribe is known to geographers, who derive their information from the Portuguese, as the _Morusurus_, and the hills mentioned above are said to have been the country of Changamira, the warrior-chief of history, whom no Portuguese ever dared to approach.

The Bazizulu seem, by report, to be brave mountaineers; nearer the river, the Sidima inhabit the plains; just as on the north side, the Babimpe live on the heights, about two days off, and the Makoa on or near the river.

The chief of the Bazizulu we were now with was hospitable and friendly.

A herd of buffaloes came trampling through the gardens and roused up our men; a feat that roaring lions seldom achieved.
Our course next day passed over the upper terrace and through a dense thorn jungle.

Travelling is always difficult where there is no path, but it is even more perplexing where the forest is cut up by many game-tracks.
